Inspirational Sailing Adventures aboard the Amelie Rose
We have been providing low-carbon adventure holidays aboard the Amelie Rose since 2009, sailing all over the English Channel from the Solent to Cornwall & the Isles of Scilly, and across to the Channel Islands and Brittany.
Our focus has been on offering exciting, safe, inspirational sailing adventures to everyone – regardless of age, race, religion, disability, sexuality or gender/gender expression enabling folks to enjoy living within nature, harnessing her power, and bringing them closer to the elements and their crewmates as a result.
As we are now looking to move on to new challenges, we are looking for new owners to continue our mission and to enjoy owning this incredible vessel.

Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed last week on Amelie Rose. Of course the weather helped, but the whole experience was great, - the sailing, Douarnenez, the company and, of course, the food, - many thanks!

As we reminisce on the 13 seasons we have run charter on the Amelie Rose and carry out her final refit, we asked on social media for people to share their memories and thoughts on their experiences onboard - Topsail Adventures is, after all, here for the guest crew who sail on her!

Our primary Skipper and Director of Topsail Adventures, Nic Beck, has been on quite a journey since they commissioned Amelie Rose back in 2006, and now it’s time for that adventure to take a new turn. Read Nic’s announcement here…
Don’t panic! No actual otters get harmed in the making of this dish – in fact it’s vegan friendly unless you decide to use beef dripping instead of healthy (!) olive or rapeseed oil. What it does include is lots or earthy goodness and mouth-watering flavours whether it’s served as a main, a side-dish or a thick hearty soup.
In the previous article we had a look at parking up when the touchdown zone was a nice long stretch of pontoon, but what about when it’s a wall, piles or even (shudder) a finger berth?
